'Guns are not toys'

Superintendent Jon Fernandez said officials are grateful nothing bad came out of the incident and that students were comfortable reporting the incident to adults.

"We need everybody’s help to keep our campuses secure, and part of that is ensuring we protect our kids and keep them away from firearms both on and off campus. We need to let our kids know that guns are not toys and should not be played with," Fernandez said.

"In this case, we are very lucky that this incident did not go any further, and we hope everyone in the community will work with us to guide our students and ensure safety on our school campuses," Fernandez said.
